Chapter 115 I Know
Xu Mufei was also stunned. He pointed at his scratched face and said, "Brother, she hurt me!"
"How long have you been in the martial arts hall? How could you let a half-grown girl get hurt?" Xu Yubai looked at the servant who had just taken action and said, "You let so many servants do it? Aren't you afraid that it will be discredited by the Xu family if people tell others about it?"
Xu Mufei wanted to say more, but Xu Yubai glared back at him. He only heard him say, "If you pursue this matter further, it will be detrimental to the Xu family. This matter ends here. Since my cousin is fostered in the Xu family, we should treat her as our own and not treat her harshly."
Xu Yubai was much older than Xu Mufei. He was also the eldest son in the family and was studying in school. Therefore, he had some of the majesty of Xu Feng when he was young. No matter how domineering Xu Mufei was, he didn't dare to act rashly. He just glared at Yan Su and left.
Yan Su breathed a sigh of relief after the people left. The wounds on her body began to hurt. Her forehead had just hit the ground, and her ears seemed to have some tinnitus. It was as if she heard sounds through a layer of something.
But Xu Yubai squatted down and called out in a gentle voice, "Cousin?"
The voice was gentle and full of kindness. Yan Su finally saw Xu Yubai's face clearly. He exuded a scholarly air, with a face as handsome as jade and a noble demeanor. He wore a moon-white gown and a translucent white jade ring around his waist.
Seeing Yan Su remained silent for a long time, Xu Yubai teased her intentionally: "I helped you out, why didn't you even say thank you?"
Yan Su lowered her eyes, feeling her cheeks burning, "Thank you... cousin?"
She called out this name tentatively, and Xu Yubai responded, just a little, but for some reason, she felt a little excited in her heart.
She paused mid-sentence. The candlelight in the study shone on Yan Su's face, its flickering light dancing across her face. Ye Lanzhou understood the emotion in her eyes. It was like longing, yet also like relief...
"He asked me if I was willing to learn martial arts so that people around me wouldn't bully me anymore." Yan Su started, then continued, "I said yes."
Later, Yan Su was taken by Xu Yubai to a paddock outside the city, which was where the Xu family trained Deadpool. However, Yan Su was still young at the time and didn't know what she was about to face.
Life in the enclosure was harder than she had imagined. She had to practice martial arts every day without a break. There was a competition every month, with two people in a group, and only the one who survived could get off the stage.
Yan Su herself didn't know how she got through that period. She only remembered that Xu Yubai would come to see her before every competition and tell her that only if she became strong would she not be bullied.
Ye Lanzhou felt something was wrong when he heard this. There are many ways to make people stronger. As the eldest son of the Xu family, Xu Yubai does not necessarily have no rights at all.
Furthermore, the Xu family gave Yan Su the status of "cousin" in order to allow her to gain a foothold in the Xu family. If Xu Yubai wanted to protect her, he could just use this as an excuse. Why would he go to such great lengths to send her to an enclosure far away from the Xu family?
This approach is too extreme and unreasonable.
But Yan Su didn't think anything was wrong, and Ye Lanzhou didn't interrupt her. At the moment, she was just trying to be a good listener. Because she couldn't empathize with Yan Su, she couldn't judge Yan Su's choice from her perspective.
When she thought of this, her brows furrowed unconsciously.
Yan Su was just as she said, very good at reading people's expressions. When she saw Ye Lanzhou frown, she knew that she had noticed something was wrong.
Then, unexpectedly, I said, "I know he is using me."
